Monterey Bay Aquarium: Outer Bay/Open Sea Exhibit

The window at the Outer Bay /Open Sea Exhibit at the Monterey Bay Aquarium is massive! Standing in front of it is like scuba diving without getting wet! At night a wall of bubbles obscures the window so that the fish don’t run into it in the dark. We arrived at the window before the bubbles were turned off for the day. The beautiful blue color of the exhibit comes from the blue tiles covering its walls – over 1.6 million tiles were used!
